What a beautifully vulnerable piece, Miao. LOVE IT! This is what divine masculinity looks like, and we need more of it in this world.

Love the ending reflection you offer about experiencing unconditional love through your son. This has been my experience with my 5 kids, especially my oldest, who's become estranged, thus giving me a master class in unconditional love.

Here is the 2-part piece I wrote about my ongoing experience with her estrangement. I invite you to read it if you feel inspired. No pressure. 🥰✨🙏

Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable and truly important piece!! I kmow this will bring so much healing to other men!! Your story deeply touched my heart!!

It's absolutely heartbreaking how so many boys were taught to silence their emotions to appear strong, yet it's incredibly healing to see how you're breaking that cycle with your own son.

You're not just comforting him you’re also comforting the boy you once were. That kind of emotional courage is powerful!!

It gives hope that future generations will know strength through softness, too. Your journey is a beautiful reminder that healing is possible, and love can rewrite legacy.
